  SPEAKER_03: I don't even remember his name because he was nobody.

  it was like maybe he was in the ring for five minutes at one
• 5:41
  point sometime.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe.
• 5:43
  He's probably a jobber that was 0-1,

  SPEAKER_03: Like, all right, who gives a shit?

• 5:55
  SPEAKER_03: All right, well, getting back to Toto.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_03: Uh-huh.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_03: Toto has been known for its many lineup changes over the past 50 years.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_03: 50 years.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_03: You never think of Toto being around for 50 years.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_03: They were having their biggest hits 40 years ago, 43 years ago.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_03: You know, with Toto 4.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and that was in 82.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_03: 82.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_03: 43 years ago.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 6:24
  Chicago 16 might as well have been a Toto album since Toto
• 6:28
  basically played most of
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_03: the album.
• 6:31
  because of david foster sure so david foster had two huge uh
• 6:37
  records come out
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_03: almost simultaneously in the summer of 82 with toto four in chicago 16.
• 6:44
  right and and basically toto the players in toto played most of
• 6:51
  the chicago album
• 6:54
  So anyway,
• 6:56
  they've been known for its many lineup changes over the past 50
• 6:59
  years.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_03: But the classic era of the beloved rock band,
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_03: beloved,
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_03: here it is again,
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_03: band featured Bobby Kimball on vocals.
• 7:08
  During Kimball's original run as lead singer in the late 70s
• 7:12
  and early 80s,
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_03: the band scored several top five singles,
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_03: including Hold the Line,
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_03: Africa,
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_03: Rosanna,
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_03: as well as a slew of Grammys.
• 7:21
  But Kimball was fired from Toto in 1984 due to drug use that
• 7:26
  affected his ability to perform.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_03: Founding member Steve Porcaro told Classic Rock in an interview.
• 7:33
  While Kimball was invited back to the band for a 10-year stint
• 7:36
  in the late 90s,
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_03: he was not part of the 2010 reunion,
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_03: which instead featured vocalist Joseph Williams.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_03: Williams also replaced Kimball for the latest incarnation of Toto.
• 7:48
  The man is currently on tour in South America and we'll head to
• 7:52
  the U S for shows early in 2026.
• 7:54
  Now Toto for us is a lot similar to the band thunder because
• 8:02
  this is it for us.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_03: We break it up.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_03: No more Toto.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_03: And then the next year while we're back, you know,
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_02: Dude,
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_02: the interviews that I did with Lukather and with Joe Williams,
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_02: which were two different tours.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_02: Both of them said, this is it for us.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_02: Both of them.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_02: And it was two different tours.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_03: And they both said, yeah, this is the last tour we're going to do.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_03: Well, Thunder does the same thing.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_03: Well, this is it for us.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, we're back.

  SPEAKER_03: True.

• 9:04
  the only time we ever saw Bobby Kimball was in the Africa

  When you go through everything that he's played on credited and
• 10:22
  uncredited.

  SPEAKER_03: Holy smokes.

  SPEAKER_03: Totally fun.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_03: I was very jealous.
• 10:32
  But founding member Steve Lukather set the record straight
• 10:35
  during a recent
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_03: appearance on the Rockin' Tours podcast.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_03: You know,
• 10:41
  there was this bullshit in the early 90s about how we were
• 10:46
  mortal enemies and all
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_03: this crap,
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_03: he said.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_03: I love Bobby Kimball.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_03: He's one of the greatest singers who's ever been around.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_03: When the voice is on, he was just untouchable.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_03: Listen, I love Bobby.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_03: We've been in touch,
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_03: but he's starting to lose touch with who he is now because of,
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_03: dementia.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_02: Oh boy.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_03: So he is suffering from dementia.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_03: Steve Lukather says it's very sad and I have no right to talk about it.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_03: I love him.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_03: And there's a third party involved that sends love.
• 11:18
  a post uh kimball's official website confirmed that he suffers
• 11:22
  from front temporal
• 11:24
  dementia and is not able to perform anymore can't be any worse
• 11:29
  than frankie valley
• 11:31
  true frankie valley is a corpse and he's up there every night
• 11:35
  come on they just
• 11:37
  bring him out on a hand truck yeah just wheel him out there
• 11:40
  they just stand him up
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_03: at the mic
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_02: You know, probably have his arm.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_02: They probably broke his arm and healed it so that it's this way.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_02: So he's holding the microphone all the time.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_03: Years before the night.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_03: Years before Kimball's FTD diagnosis was made public,
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_03: Luca III talked about the difficult decision to fire him from the band.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_03: But when asked about the 2010 reunion tour that excluded Kimball,
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_03: he refused to fuel speculation of a feud with his former bandmate.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_03: I don't want enemies in this world, he told Classic Rock in 2015.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_03: Life is too short, man.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_03: In a 2021 interview with 100% Rock Magazine,
• 12:29
  Lukather confirmed that he was in contact with Kimball and was
• 12:32
  still friends with
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_03: him,
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_03: contrary to popular belief.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_03: The guy's got dementia, and I'm trying to hang on with them.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_03: And we made our piece a long time ago, the Toto guitarist said.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_03: The press just keeps it alive.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, he's got hearing problems.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_03: He's got brain problems.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_03: He's got all kinds.
• 12:51
  kinds of problems so much for not talking about this steve but
• 12:57
  i never hated bobby
• 12:58
  kimball i hated some of the stupid things he did and i said
• 13:01
  some really nasty shit
• 13:03
  i wish i didn't say because i was angry and that perpetuated
• 13:06
  this media driven feud
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_03: that we're supposedly had that never existed
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_03: So Bobby Kimball is toast.
• 13:16
  So if you are going to go see Toto,
• 13:19
  don't be out there yelling,
• 13:20
  where's Bobby?
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, don't hold up your sign.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_03: Bring Bobby back!
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_03: Because Bobby would be like, who is that?
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: He won't even know who you're talking about.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_02: And he is Bobby Kimball.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_03: Huh?
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_03: What the heck?
• 13:39
  How embarrassing would it be if they did trot him out there and
• 13:41
  he didn't remember
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_02: the words to Africa or something?
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_03: He just stood out there and just kind of smiled like Joe Biden.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_02: Hold something.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_02: What is it?
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: The line.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, hold the line.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_03: Let's hope that doesn't happen.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_03: Just let the man retire.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_03: Like you said, he's 78.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_03: He's got dementia.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 14:07
  Let him,
• 14:07
  let him have his final years in peace,
• 14:11
  not remembering who he is.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_03: So there you go.

• 14:22
  of Bobby Kimball and

  SPEAKER_03: whether he's,
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_03: uh,

  SPEAKER_03: I don't think he's doing Alison Krauss stuff anymore.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_03: I just, Oh, is he done with that?
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_03: Is he done raising sand?
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_03: I think, uh, he's out there just on a solo thing.
• 15:26
  I don't think it's like a,
• 15:28
  you know,
• 15:29
  co-headlining tour,
• 15:30
  uh,
• 15:30
  or,
• 15:31
  uh,
• 15:31
  you know,
• 15:31
  whatever.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, good for him.
• 15:35
  Please tell me he's not going to do a set of Led Zeppelin with
• 15:38
  other guys other
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_03: than Led Zeppelin.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_03: Please tell me that's not what he's doing.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_03: Uh,
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_03: as the legendary front man,
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_03: a Led Zeppelin,
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_03: Robert Plant was known for his one of a kind vocals and impressive range.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_03: Uh,
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_03: For proof of his unique talent,
• 15:55
  one needs to look no further than the otherworldly howl at the
• 15:59
  beginning of the
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_03: immigrant song.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_03: Now, decades later, Plant's voice is no less compelling.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_03: Bullshit.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_03: That's one of the reasons I brought this story.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_03: It's no less compelling.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, it is.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_03: It's much less compelling.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_03: As it's evolved into something even deeper and richer.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_03: No, it has not, AI.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_03: ChatGPT, you're incorrect here.
• 16:26
  Not to mention more suited to his current style of music as his
• 16:30
  most recent album,
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_03: Saving Grace,
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_03: spans multiple genres from folk to blues to bluegrass.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_03: But will he ever get back to full throttle rock is the question.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_03: In a recent interview with NPR's tiny desk host,
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_03: Robin Hilton,
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_03: Plant77 opened up about the evolution of his voice over the years.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_03: I knew that I got to get this out of my mold,
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_03: Plant said,
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_03: adding,
• 16:57
  I knew I had to turn some of the expression down because I had
• 17:01
  to make my own way.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_03: Bottom line is when I get exposed to this other way of singing,
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_03: if you think about Charlie Rich or somebody like that,
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_03: he could turn it on and he could turn it off.
• 17:13
  Plant continued referring to the late country singer and
• 17:17
  Presley just could sing so
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_03: magnificently,
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_03: but at the same time he could kick his kick ass.
• 17:25
  and i think because i found these songs through my friendships
• 17:28
  with those guys down
• 17:29
  in nashville and austin it was just like what are you gonna do
• 17:33
  with betty wright
• 17:34
  the soul singer r&b singer songwriter song you can't kill it
• 17:39
  somebody can sing it
• 17:40
  beautifully you've got to uh retranslate from an original idea
• 17:45
  and sort of put your
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_03: own mark on it i can kick ass but i can uh rely on myself at the moment
• 17:53
  Do you have any interest in doing another full throttle rock
• 17:57
  album at some point?
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_03: Like guitar rock, Hilton asked.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_03: I can't hear you, Plan answered with a sly look on his face.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_03: What a dick.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_03: I hate Robert Plan now.
• 18:10
  Basically,
• 18:10
  the question is,
• 18:11
  is there any chance he'll do anything the fans want to hear?
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_03: And his answer is no.
• 18:17
  No,
• 18:17
  I'm going to keep doing this bullshit Betty Page or whatever
• 18:20
  fucking whoever you said.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_03: Betty Wright.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_03: This Betty Wright blues song from 1931.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_03: Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_03: No one wants to hear that.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_03: Nobody is sitting around going, you know what I hope Robert Plant does?
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_03: Another Honey Drippers record.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_03: I really hope he digs into the 40s and comes up with some gems.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_03: No one is saying that.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_03: They want to hear
• 18:45
  returning down the stairway to heaven or an upgraded version of
• 18:50
  the immigrant song
• 18:51
  donald trump throws him out you know something like that let's
• 18:58
  go right he's
• 19:01
  talking about doing 30s and 40s music and i i made such good
• 19:05
  friends with elvis so
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_03: i'm gonna do what hunk a hunk of burning love get the out of here
• 19:13
  Well,
• 19:13
  fans would surely be thrilled to hear Plant rock out to
• 19:17
  Zeppelin-style music again.
• 19:20
  It's worth noting that he has incorporated several Zeppelin
• 19:23
  classics into his most
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_03: recent tour,
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_03: including Rain Song,
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_03: Ramble On,
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_03: and Gallows Pole,
• 19:29
  to the delight of the lucky audience members who paid $500 a
• 19:33
  ticket to be there.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_03: Is it lucky or legendary audience members?
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_03: Legendary audience.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, boy.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_03: So...
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_03: So to answer your question, there is no answer to your question.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, there's an answer.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_03: The answer is hell no.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_03: It's not happening.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_03: It's not going to happen.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_03: I'm an old man now.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not going to rock out no more.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm done with that shit.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_03: So there you go.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_03: Some Robert Plant news.
• 20:07
  I was on the edge of my seat hoping,
• 20:09
  and now you just ruined my night,
• 20:10
  Neely.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_03: Damn it.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_03: Moving on to more classic rock stuff.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_03: Aerosmith.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_03: Disney has permanently removed Aerosmith's roller coaster pre-show.
• 20:32
  For a long time,
• 20:33
  they've had this Aerosmith pre-show thing for rock and roller
• 20:38
  coaster.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_03: And it featured Aerosmith, but no more.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_03: They have removed the Aerosmith component to this ride feature.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_03: Why?
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_03: Guess it's time to move on.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_03: So now what is it?
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_03: The Greta Van Fleet flyer or something?
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_03: They're going to permanently vacation that segment.
• 21:06
  Disney World has permanently removed Rock and Roller Coaster's
• 21:10
  iconic pre-show
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_03: starring Aerosmith.
• 21:12
  The roller coaster previously featured a pre-ride presentation
• 21:16
  starring the band,
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_03: a young Ken Marino,
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_03: and I don't know what that,
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_03: Ileana Douglas?
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, Ileana Douglas.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 21:26
  The Muppets will take over rock and roller coaster at Disney's
• 21:30
  Hollywood Studios in 2026.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_03: So they're replacing the guys that probably look like they're 30,
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_03: but are really 80 in the video with the Muppets will never age.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_03: I guess that makes sense.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, plus they probably have the copyright to the Muppets.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, or it was something in some merger they did or some shit.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_03: Well, they probably don't have to pay Aerosmith a royalty anymore.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_03: And they own the Muppets,
• 21:58
  so they don't have to do that anymore since Disney is losing
• 22:03
  money right and left.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_03: They're probably figuring ways to cut costs,
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_03: and probably a cost cut would be eliminating the Aerosmith thing,
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_03: which they were probably paying a royalty on.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_03: Well,
• 22:16
  maybe they wouldn't be losing so much money if they'd quit
• 22:18
  making these bad Star
• 22:20
  Wars remakes and trying to monopolize every fucking bit of
• 22:24
  streaming content out
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_03: there today.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe they'd be in better shape.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_03: Dicks.
• 22:30
  If you want to watch Disney World's iconic Aerosmith pre-show
• 22:33
  video before boarding
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_03: the rock and roller coaster,
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_03: you'll have to dream on.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, really?
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_03: Did you make that up or did the writer write that?
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_03: That's what it says.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_03: That is horrendous.
• 22:47
  Ahead of the ride's transformation into a Muppets-themed roller
• 22:50
  coaster set to open
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_03: in 2026,
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_03: the Orlando,
• 22:53
  Florida Resort has permanently removed a guest favorite
• 22:56
  presentation starring the
• 22:58
  Steven Tyler fronted band that played before visitors entering
• 23:03
  the indoor coaster's
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_03: loading area.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_03: Entertainment Weekly has learned that the video...
• 23:08
  which introduced the ride story and saw guests drop in on
• 23:12
  Aerosmith recording
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_03: session before zooming through busy highways to make it to a concert,
• 23:17
  has been nixed from the attraction so the construction work can
• 23:21
  begin on the ride's
• 23:22
  Muppet evolution and phases and to minimize overall downtime
• 23:27
  for guests during the
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_03: revamp.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_03: The roller coaster itself,
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_03: which opened in 1999,
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_03: will remain open through the pre-show area,
• 23:36
  will no longer be operated as crews work to bring new
• 23:39
  presentation featuring
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_03: Kermit,
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_03: Scooter,
• 23:42
  and adorable penguin animatronics from the former Muppet Vision
• 23:46
  3D show that closed
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_03: earlier this year at Hollywood Studios and the Dr.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_03: Teeth and the Electric Mayhem Band.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_03: Never heard of it.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_03: I have all those albums.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sure you do.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_03: Taking over for Aerosmith,
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_03: whose tunes currently soundtrack the high-speed launch coaster,
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_03: the Muppets edition of Rock and Roller Coaster,
• 24:10
  sees the Electric Mayhem crew headlining their biggest gig at a
• 24:17
  Hollywood concert
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_03: with guests embarking on a search for the group when they go missing.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_03: Wow, sounds exciting.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_03: Ahead of the Muppet visions,
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_03: 3d closure in June,
• 24:27
  Disney revealed that the former Muppets courtyard would be
• 24:30
  removed to make way for
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_03: the monsters Inc themed area,
• 24:35
  which would feature the company's first ever suspended roller
• 24:38
  coaster modeled after
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_03: the animated film series,
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_03: a door system,
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_03: whatever that is.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_03: So there you are.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_03: So no more Aerosmith on the old rock and roller coaster.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, it's on YouTube.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_02: You can watch it there, I guess.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_03: So, yeah.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_03: I,
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_03: aside from freshening up the new thing and whatever,
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_03: I just have a feeling that this is a cost cutting thing.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_03: Of course.
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_02: Do you think they're going to end up closing some of them places?
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_02: Do they really need like four of them or whatever?
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_03: No, they're not profitable.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sure that they'll have to do something.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I can't imagine that they need two of them.
• 25:16
  Let alone,
• 25:17
  don't they have like two here in the States and one in like
• 25:21
  England or something?
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think there's one in China or Japan or something.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_03: Japan or somewhere, yeah.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_02: Close all this shit.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_02: Disney stinks.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_03: I'm tired of these Disney people.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_02: Fuck Disney.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_02: I hate them.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_02: I hate them like I hate owls.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_03: So sticking with Aerosmith.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 25:44
  Aerosmith has now achieved a new top 10 Billboard 200 album,
• 25:48
  six decades in a row.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, brother.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_03: With that fucking terrible EP.
• 25:55
  As Aerosmith and Youngblood collaborative album One More Time
• 25:59
  debuts at number nine
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_03: on the Billboard 200 dated December 6th,
• 26:04
  Aerosmith becomes the second group and fifth act overall with
• 26:09
  newly charting top 10
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_03: in each of the last six decades,
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_03: 70s through the 2020s.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_03: Well, that is kind of impressive.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_02: It is impressive, I guess, but.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_03: it doesn't mean it's good.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_03: It just means that people bought it or streamed it.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_03: You know,
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_03: that's the whole thing about,
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_03: these,
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_03: these iconic bands at,
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_03: at the dedication and following that these bands have,
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_03: that's going to be a thing of the past as,
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_03: as,
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_03: as dedicated,
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_03: uh,
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_03: fans age out because there's no,
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_03: there's never going to be another artist,
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_03: uh,
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_03: that people follow for six decades.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know that you're correct on that.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_03: Who would you put in that category?
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_03: Taylor Swift.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, you said name one.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_03: I can't name a bunch, but Taylor Swift is going to be popular.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_03: She's what in her thirties or whatever.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_03: Now she's in her late thirties.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_03: She'll definitely be popular into her sixties.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_03: For six decades.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_02: Well, she had hits in the 90s, 90s, 2000s.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_02: So I would be to what, 2050?
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_03: Close.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_03: We'll never know, but if she lives that long, then she has a chance.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_03: Assuming that after she gets married, she doesn't curtail her career.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_03: I got a feeling she's the one with the dick in that family.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 27:51
  One more time also marks the top 10 for Youngblood after four
• 27:56
  earlier charting
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_03: titles and the 10th top 10 for Aerosmith.
• 28:01
  The latter was last in the top 10 with its latest full studio
• 28:06
  album in 2012,
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_03: Music from Another Dimension,
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_03: which debuted and peaked at number five.
• 28:15
  Aerosmith notched its first top 10 in the Billboard 200 in 1976
• 28:19
  and only top 10 of
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_03: the 70s with Rocks peaking at number three.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_03: The band then scored one top 10 in the 80s.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_03: 1989's number five peak of Pump.
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_03: Three in the 90s, Get a Grip.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_03: Number one, Big Ones.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_03: Number six and nine, Lives at number one.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_03: Three in the 2000s, Just Push Play at number two.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, Ultimate Aerosmith at number two.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_03: Honking on Bobo at number five.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_03: One in the 2010s, Music from Another Dimension at number five.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_03: And now one in the 20s with One More Time.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_03: Pretty impressive.
• 29:09
  I want to backtrack a little bit on Taylor Swift just because
• 29:13
  she was very young in
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_03: the nineties.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_03: I guess she didn't have hits in the nineties cause she was born in, um,
• 29:22
  um 1989 okay so i'm thinking she did not have hits in the 90s
• 29:27
  it must have been the
• 29:28
  2000s so it would have to be the 2000s to what 2060 yeah i
• 29:33
  don't know that's gonna
• 29:36

  I wonder if,
• 30:45
  like,
• 30:45
  Miley Cyrus,
• 30:46
  because she had hits when she was on Disney.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_03: But were they her hits or were they Disney hits?
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe Garth Brooks.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_03: I'm still trying to think of who could hang in there.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_03: Garth Brooks, maybe?
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_03: But he was gone for a while.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_02: He was gone for a long time.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_03: So he may have missed out on a decade.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_02: He might have had a decade where he missed.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_03: So he had to skip a decade.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_02: Well, maybe.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_02: Who knows?
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_02: There'll be AI.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_03: There'll be AI bands that have tons of hits all the way through.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_03: Who's going to follow an AI band?
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_03: Dude, they're already doing it.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_03: What do you mean who's going to?
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_03: There's already people doing it.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_03: But they're not going to be dedicated followers of an AI band.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_03: If it's good, they will.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_03: No, they won't because there's no personality.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_03: You know,
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_03: the thing is,
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_03: is with like Aerosmith and,
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_03: any of these rock bands,
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_03: Aussie,
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_03: whatever these guys were,
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_03: uh,
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_03: these guys had a,
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_03: had a presence,
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_03: somebody that you could.
• 31:51
  maybe relate to,
• 31:52
  or you,
• 31:53
  or you,
• 31:54
  you know,
• 31:54
  gravitated to because I understand that.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_03: But I,
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_03: even with,
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_03: even with the young kids who live on their devices,
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_03: you can't relate to an AI character.
• 32:10
  see i disagree with you fully on this fully and i'll tell you
• 32:14
  why because today's
• 32:15
  kid a they don't look at music the way we do they're not
• 32:19
  looking to connect they
• 32:22
  look at who the superstars are now the jake pauls and the logan
• 32:26
  pauls it's all
• 32:27
  about internet and youtube a good tiktok guy but jake paul and
• 32:33
  logan paul are
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_03: actual people
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_03: They are.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_03: I get that.
• 32:37
  But if you take an AI band and you put together somebody that's
• 32:43
  great at TikTok and
• 32:44
  you're consistently feeding new and adventurous and fun TikToks
• 32:49
  to these kids
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_03: today...
• 32:51
  That would be way more impressive than a band that can tour and
• 32:57
  sell 60,000 tickets
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_03: across the country.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_03: Because these kids are not conditioned to go see this music.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_03: I understand that.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_03: But the thing is,
• 33:06
  you don't think the TikTok thing is going to run out when you
• 33:09
  age to 40s and 50s
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_03: and 60s?
• 33:12
  You're still going to be scrolling at TikTok looking for your
• 33:15
  favorite AI band?
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_03: Who knows?
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think so.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_03: If it's what they've been taught.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, look, we haven't aged out of going to shows.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but that's a live experience, though.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_03: It's the experience we had.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but it's an event, though.
• 33:33
  SPEAKER_03: We haven't aged out of going to movies.
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_03: That's not really an event.
• 33:38
  it well it sort of is because movies used to be um limited run
• 33:44
  you know they'd be
• 33:45
  in the theater if like if you're talking about actually going
• 33:49
  to the movies you
• 33:50
  know prior to to uh modern technology sure you you had to go
• 33:56
  see that movie within
• 33:57
  a four week four to five week period because then it was going
• 34:01
  to be out of the
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_03: theater
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 34:04
  I just think that the way we're going,
• 34:06
  these kids,
• 34:06
  they do not give a shit about real people.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_03: Well,
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_03: again,
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_03: you say they don't give a shit about real people,
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_03: but that would make even AI shit just disposable.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_03: They could care less and they'll just go for the next greatest thing.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_03: They will.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_03: But what I'm saying is,
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_03: is that if you can't,
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_03: they're not going to be dedicated and loyal to an AI thing.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_03: I think they might.
• 34:30
  If there's a producer that's putting together good songs that
• 34:35
  are catchy for the
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_03: kids,
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_03: not for us,
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_03: but for today's kids,
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_03: they'll stay with that.
• 34:40
  If that formula works and they kind of ACDC it where they make
• 34:46
  the same sort of
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_03: sounding song over and over and over again,
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_03: and if they have good little videos or whatever on this,
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_03: I do think that the kids will follow it.
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think they care if it's real or fake.
• 34:59
  that's the scariest part about it is the ai is wiping out all
• 35:02
  their jobs and
• 35:03
  they're like yeah bring on more they want more ai not less
• 35:07
  right of course
• 35:11
  Aerosmith is the second group following the Rolling Stones with
• 35:15
  at least one newly
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_03: charting top 10 in every decade from the 70s through the 2020s.
• 35:23
  Among all acts,
• 35:24
  there are just five with the top 10 in each decade in that
• 35:28
  span.
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_03: That would be Aerosmith,
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_03: Paul McCartney,
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_03: the Rolling Stones,
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_03: Bruce Springsteen,
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_03: and James Taylor.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_03: James Taylor?
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_03: James Taylor.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_03: No, you too.
• 35:40
  no that's surprising to me no springsteen it just said
• 35:44
  springsteen oh did you say
• 35:45
  springsteen yeah yeah yeah it's aerosmith paul mccartney the
• 35:50
  rolling stones bruce
• 35:51
  springsteen and james taylor i'm still surprised by you too but
• 35:56
  i get it i guess
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_02: they haven't been relevant in a while other than big touring band
• 36:02
  right uh the five track one more time was preceded by its first
• 36:06
  single my only
• 36:07
  angel which debuted at number one on the hot rock songs of
• 36:11
  october and climbs to uh

  SPEAKER_03: On the latter ranking,
• 36:24
  My Only Angel marked the 25th top 10 for Aerosmith and the
• 36:29
  first for Youngblood.
• 36:31
  My Only Angel is the first top 10 for Aerosmith on the
• 36:34
  mainstream rock airplay chart since 2004.

  Baby Please Don't Go reached number seven in the band's highest
• 36:42
  charting hit since
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_03: Jaded spent five weeks at number one in 2001.
• 36:48
  okay so it's there you go so aerosmith yeah it's not very good
• 36:53
  though that ep it's
• 36:55
  really not very good at all but you know people were just
• 36:57
  excited because it has
• 36:59
  aerosmith and oh my god they're back oh my god it's been so
• 37:03
  long but that's what
• 37:05
  i'm talking about it's people who are fans sure they'll
• 37:10
  gravitate to anything
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_03: they'll just go you know holy shit aerosmith
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_03: I'm looking right now.
• 37:16
  SPEAKER_03: I just did a quick look.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_03: There's a band,
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_03: AI band called Blow Records,
• 37:28
  and they are the highest average monthly listeners with 2.8
• 37:34
  million listens a
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_03: month.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_03: 2.8 million.
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_03: I wonder if the kids have posters on their wall of this AI band.
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_03: They might.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_03: They might have it as their screen thing or whatever on their phone.
• 37:51
  Another one,
• 37:52
  Zania Monet is an AI artist that first appeared in July 2025,
• 37:58
  so five months ago.
• 38:02
  And has amassed over 1.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify
• 38:07
  and hundreds of
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_03: thousands of social media followers across platforms.
• 38:12
  SPEAKER_03: I'm telling you, people are following this shit like it's real.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_03: But for six decades?
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I don't know about six decades, but they're following it now.
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_03: Well, they may be.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_03: If that's what they know when they're 15...
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_03: What's going to make them say, I don't want this fake shit anymore.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_03: Instead, I want real guys that take three years in between songs.
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not saying that they're going to say, I want real guys now.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_03: What I'm trying to say is after these legacy artists are gone,
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_03: these type of records are not going to exist anymore.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_03: That's probably true.
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_03: But.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_03: There's more interest in this than you think is all I'm saying.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not denying the interest.
• 38:59
  What I'm trying to say is that I can't imagine somebody
• 39:04
  following an AI thing for 50 years.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_02: We need to launch our own AI band.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_03: Should we launch one?
• 39:13
  SPEAKER_03: Sure, why not?
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_03: All we need is the banger app, which is like five bucks or something.
• 39:17
  SPEAKER_03: Well, let's resurrect steel piston.
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.

• 39:42
  related story here
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_03: okay
• 39:47
  A famed music producer is pulling back the curtain on why the
• 39:53
  rock band replaced
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_03: its guitarist on a classic album.
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_03: Again, with the AI written shit.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_03: Aerosmith used Outside Guitarist on its 1974 sophomore release,
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_03: Get Your Wings,
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_03: produced by Jack Douglas,
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_03: who confirmed in a new interview,
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_03: Joe Perry was clearly talented,
• 40:15
  SPEAKER_03: but he did not have the right skills for certain songs on this record.
• 40:22
  It's Dick Wagner and Stephen Hunter playing guitar on songs
• 40:26
  like Train Kept a
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_03: Rollin' and Same Old Song and Dance,
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_03: Douglas told Magnificent Others with Billy Corrigan podcast,
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_03: which...
• 40:35
  SPEAKER_03: which was a hard sell.
• 40:37
  SPEAKER_03: Joe was a guy who played from the gut,
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_03: all feel,
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_03: all the time,
• 40:42
  SPEAKER_03: very little technique,
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_03: but the greatest feel over Douglas,
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_03: let's see,
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_03: but the greatest feel ever,
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_03: Douglas said,
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_03: and dangerous,
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_03: really,
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_03: because he didn't care what key he went into,
• 40:54
  SPEAKER_03: and sometimes that was great.
• 40:56
  SPEAKER_03: Douglas told Billy Corrigan that it was Douglas' idea to bring in session
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_03: guitarists for more discipline.
• 41:03
  When I approached Steven Tyler about it at first,
• 41:05
  he was like,
• 41:06
  absolutely,
• 41:07
  I totally get it.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I totally get it.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_03: You sell it, but I get it, the producer recalled.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_03: Joe took it really badly.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_03: It was hard for Joe,
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_03: but it was only a couple of tunes,
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_03: same old song and dance,
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_03: and Train Kept a Rolling.
• 41:22
  Get Your Wings ultimately ended up being a success,
• 41:26
  selling more than 3 million copies.
• 41:28
  It built on the success of Aerosmith's self-titled 1973 debut
• 41:32
  featuring Dream On
• 41:34
  and led to the breakout hits like Sweet Emotion and Walk This
• 41:38
  Way from the 75's
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_03: Toys in the Attic.
• 41:41
  SPEAKER_03: Douglas,
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_03: who also worked with John Lennon and Chief Trick,
• 41:44
  returned to work with Aerosmith on Toys in the Attic and other
• 41:48
  Aerosmith albums,
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_03: including acclaimed 1976 release Rocks.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_03: In the end,
• 41:54
  it worked out because they learned those solos and went on the
• 41:57
  road for a year and
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_03: came back when we did the Toys album,
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_03: Douglas said.
• 42:04
  SPEAKER_03: They were like different, completely different musicians.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_03: Aerosmith,
• 42:08
  one of the best-selling rock bands of all time with additional
• 42:11
  hits like Crazy,
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_03: Dude Looks Like a Lady,
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_03: Janie's Got a Gun.
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_03: Blah, blah, blah.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_03: Aerosmith was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001,
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_03: won multiple Grammy Awards,
• 42:24
  SPEAKER_03: and the Toxic Twins,
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_03: Tyler and Perry,
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_03: were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013.
• 42:32
  The band abruptly retired last year and canceled the farewell
• 42:36
  tour due to Tyler's
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_03: vocal injuries.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_03: However,
• 42:39
  Tyler Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton reunited in February for
• 42:43
  Tyler's Jam for
• 42:44
  SPEAKER_03: Jamie's Grammy Award viewing party at a charity event in Los Angeles.
• 42:50
  And Tyler performed with Perry at a recent MTV Music Video
• 42:53
  Award to pay tribute to
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_03: the late Ozzy Osbourne.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_03: So there you are.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 43:00
  The cat is out of the bag that Joe Perry did not play all the
• 43:04
  songs on their sophomore release.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_03: I love when they say,
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_03: though,
• 43:08
  that he couldn't play them because he sure did figure out how
• 43:11
  to play those two
• 43:12
  SPEAKER_03: songs over the next 35,
• 43:14
  SPEAKER_03: 40 years.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_03: He's played them every night since.
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_03: So apparently he did figure it out.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_03: But at the time, it just wasn't the right thing.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, apparently not.
• 43:25
  But I could see why he'd be pissed if you were in a successful
• 43:28
  band and then
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_03: somebody said,
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_03: yeah,
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_03: we're going to put somebody else into this place.
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_03: You're just not getting the hang of this.
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_03: You're just not good enough, Joe.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_03: Meanwhile, he's like kind of the co-leader of that band.
• 43:38
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_03: And then one last story and we'll take a break.
• 43:43
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_03: I sent you over a link.
• 43:48
  SPEAKER_03: I just thought this was interesting that...
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_03: The band Chicago and the band Styx have teamed up for a tour.
• 44:01
  SPEAKER_03: Ooh, a Windy City tour.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_03: The Windy Cities tour.
• 44:04
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, is that the name of it?
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_03: I was just being goofy.
• 44:09

• 58:53
  SPEAKER_03: So there you go, Jackal.
• 58:54
  SPEAKER_03: You can figure out which show you're going to go to.
• 58:59
  SPEAKER_02: Those bands are too new for him.
• 59:03
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know about that.
• 59:06
  SPEAKER_03: Mid-70s, way too young for Jim.
• 59:08
  SPEAKER_03: Jim needs those bands from the 60s.
• 59:10
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 59:10
  SPEAKER_03: Well, Chicago is a 60s band.
• 59:12
  SPEAKER_03: They got together in 67.
• 59:15
  Oh,
• 59:15
  they're acceptable then for Jim,
• 59:17
  but only the first two or three records and that's it.
• 59:23
  Well,
• 59:23
  they still play their boss hit bound singles from those early
• 59:27
  albums.
• 59:28
  SPEAKER_02: Sure they do.
• 59:30
  SPEAKER_03: So, uh, he's probably going to go with the hard habit to break a package.
• 59:35
  SPEAKER_02: I'm thinking he probably will.
• 59:38
  SPEAKER_02: He'll get the most expensive one he can get.
• 59:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 59:44
  SPEAKER_03: He's going to use his military pension money.
• 59:48
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 59:48
  SPEAKER_02: You better get a discount for these tickets.
• 59:50
  SPEAKER_02: Jesus.
• 59:57
  SPEAKER_03: Pretty good stuff.

• 1:05:02
  in towards chicago uh about four o'clock and i took the indiana
• 1:05:09
  toll road uh and
• 1:05:12
  all the traffic going east was just incredible okay at the toll
• 1:05:18
  booths uh there
• 1:05:18
  were there's a couple of toll booths there along the way just
• 1:05:22
  backed up for over a
• 1:05:23
  SPEAKER_03: mile each toll booth but everybody
• 1:05:27
  SPEAKER_03: making a mad escape from the city of Chicago for the weekend.
• 1:05:33
  SPEAKER_03: Right.

  SPEAKER_02: From the concentration camp known as Chicago.
• 1:05:36
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:05:37
  SPEAKER_03: But, yeah, it was just interesting.

  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 1:05:43
  SPEAKER_03: The fastest I've done that, uh, in the daylight.

  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 1:05:47
  SPEAKER_03: It was nobody going, nobody going West.
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_03: Everybody was heading East,
• 1:05:52
  getting out of getting out of either going to Michigan or going
• 1:05:57
  to Indiana or maybe
• 1:05:58
  SPEAKER_03: on through to Ohio or something.
• 1:06:00
  SPEAKER_03: But, uh,
• 1:06:01
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the mass amount of traffic going east was just incredible.
• 1:06:06
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 1:06:08
  SPEAKER_03: So I thought,
• 1:06:09
  SPEAKER_03: well,
• 1:06:10
  I better get a little head start because I needed to pick up
• 1:06:14
  Taylor about a quarter
• 1:06:16
  SPEAKER_03: of five because we had reservations.
• 1:06:19
  SPEAKER_03: I got down there in under an hour.
• 1:06:23
  SPEAKER_03: Like, Hey, it's three 30.
• 1:06:24
  SPEAKER_03: What do I do now?
• 1:06:25
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.

  SPEAKER_03: Just everybody getting the hell out of the city.
• 1:06:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:06:33
  SPEAKER_03: Dude.
• 1:06:33
  SPEAKER_02: What is up with everybody?
• 1:06:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:06:35
  SPEAKER_02: I shaved the beard.
• 1:06:36
  SPEAKER_03: What is the big fucking deal?
• 1:06:38
  Two or three comments about,
• 1:06:40
  about the beard,
• 1:06:40
  the epic beard,
• 1:06:42
  the epic beard.
• 1:06:43
  SPEAKER_03: It's like,
• 1:06:44
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:06:45
  the Chris has had the beard on and off for as many years as
• 1:06:48
  long as you've known
• 1:06:49
  SPEAKER_03: me.
• 1:06:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:06:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:06:51
  Yeah,
• 1:06:51
  I grow it for a while and then I get itchy or bored or whatever
• 1:06:54
  and I shave it off.
• 1:06:55
  SPEAKER_02: That's it.
• 1:06:56
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I let it go about a month.
• 1:06:58
  SPEAKER_02: Usually I let it go about a month, maybe six weeks.
• 1:07:01
  SPEAKER_02: This time I think I let it go two months.
• 1:07:03
  SPEAKER_02: But then I shave it off.
• 1:07:05
  I think I've shaved it off at least one other time since I've
• 1:07:08
  had the fucking broken wing.
• 1:07:09
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:07:10
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it just is.
• 1:07:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's just what I do.
• 1:07:13
  SPEAKER_02: It's not like it's a thing.
• 1:07:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:07:16
  SPEAKER_03: It's funny how people are so concentrated on appearance.
• 1:07:21
  SPEAKER_03: It's like, oh, look at you.
• 1:07:23
  SPEAKER_03: I didn't realize people were looking at you that close.
• 1:07:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I know.
• 1:07:27
  SPEAKER_03: It's like, Jesus Christ.
• 1:07:28
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, two seconds in, what's up with the beard?
• 1:07:30
  SPEAKER_03: Where's the beard?
• 1:07:33
  SPEAKER_03: You took hair off your face that'll grow back in a matter of weeks.
• 1:07:36
  SPEAKER_03: What's wrong with you?
• 1:07:38
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 1:07:38
  You know,
• 1:07:39
  the truth is,
• 1:07:39
  is it was growing in sideways and I didn't like it.
• 1:07:41
  SPEAKER_02: So I shaved it off.
• 1:07:44
  SPEAKER_03: Big fucking deal.
• 1:07:45
  SPEAKER_03: God.
• 1:07:46
  SPEAKER_03: Take it easy, people.
• 1:07:47
  It's more of a big deal when a hot chick cuts her hair off and
• 1:07:51
  goes with the Karen bob.
• 1:07:53
  SPEAKER_03: Now that's a big deal.
• 1:07:54
  SPEAKER_03: That is a big deal.
• 1:07:55
  SPEAKER_03: But that doesn't grow back in a month either.
• 1:07:58
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, no.
• 1:07:59
  SPEAKER_02: That takes a year.
• 1:08:00
  SPEAKER_02: You know, this shit will be back probably in four weeks.
• 1:08:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:08:04
  SPEAKER_03: I had a, I had a girlfriend at one time that did that.
• 1:08:06
  SPEAKER_03: And I was just like, totally turned off.
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:08:13
  SPEAKER_03: It's like, I guess I don't love you as much as I thought I did.
• 1:08:15
  SPEAKER_03: Look at this.
• 1:08:19
  SPEAKER_03: I'm getting ready to transition.
• 1:08:22
  SPEAKER_03: Is that what you're doing?
• 1:08:23
  SPEAKER_03: I guess it is.
• 1:08:26
  SPEAKER_03: You're, you're looking like Chaz Bono.
• 1:08:28
  SPEAKER_03: That's right.

  SPEAKER_03: which,
• 1:12:43
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:12:43
  that's pretty good for a band that doesn't get any airplay and
• 1:12:47
  doesn't have any
• 1:12:48
  SPEAKER_03: quote unquote bonafide hits aside from,
• 1:12:51
  SPEAKER_03: I want out from what 88 or something.
• 1:12:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.

  SPEAKER_03: But, uh, but a lot of people were there.
• 1:13:01
  SPEAKER_03: And,

  SPEAKER_03: interestingly enough,

  SPEAKER_03: uh,
• 1:13:04
  SPEAKER_03: Taylor pointed out to me and we looked around,
• 1:13:07
  SPEAKER_03: but a lot of Iron Maiden shirts,
• 1:13:09
  SPEAKER_03: uh,
• 1:13:10
  SPEAKER_03: Oh,
• 1:13:10
  SPEAKER_03: well,
• 1:13:10
  SPEAKER_03: they're,
• 1:13:11
  SPEAKER_03: they're considered,
• 1:13:11
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 1:13:12
  SPEAKER_03: the,
• 1:13:12
  SPEAKER_03: the,
• 1:13:12
  SPEAKER_03: the comparison has always been the poor man's Iron Maiden.
• 1:13:16
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 1:13:16
  SPEAKER_03: I know, but a lot of Iron Maiden shirts.
• 1:13:18
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it was really straight.
• 1:13:20
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, sorry.
• 1:13:21
  Saw a ton of Iron Maiden shirts,
• 1:13:23
  people wearing their Iron Maiden concert shirts to the show.
• 1:13:26
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
• 1:13:27
  SPEAKER_02: And,
• 1:13:28
  SPEAKER_03: um,
• 1:13:28
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:13:28
  SPEAKER_03: I,
• 1:13:29
  SPEAKER_03: I talked to Frank and he was telling me that,
• 1:13:32
  SPEAKER_03: uh,
• 1:13:33
  SPEAKER_03: they have a crew between band and crew and everything.
• 1:13:36
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 1:13:37
  their their whole entourage is like 33 people okay 33 people uh
• 1:13:45
  five buses and a
• 1:13:46
  tractor trailer sure you know and it's just like is is heavily
• 1:13:51
  i i certainly hope
• 1:13:52
  it's profitable to support five buses 33 people tractor trailer
• 1:13:57
  big stage show all
• 1:13:59
  SPEAKER_03: that other stuff you know
• 1:14:01
  SPEAKER_02: Well, they're only doing, what, 12 dates in the States.
• 1:14:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:14:05
  SPEAKER_02: And I know overseas, they are massive.
• 1:14:08
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, overseas, they're like a headliner of Valken.
• 1:14:11
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 1:14:12
  SPEAKER_02: So you put 100,000 people in front of them,
• 1:14:14
  SPEAKER_03: and they're as big as Iron Maiden or Metallica or whoever.
• 1:14:18
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 1:14:18
  SPEAKER_03: So I think they...
• 1:14:21
  I think they just have that we still haven't conquered America
• 1:14:26
  thing about them.
• 1:14:27
  That's interesting that you say that because they said that
• 1:14:30
  each time that they
• 1:14:31
  SPEAKER_03: tour the U.S.,
• 1:14:32
  SPEAKER_03: their momentum gets bigger.
• 1:14:34
  SPEAKER_03: They get better response and better attendance and
• 1:14:39
  So this time around,
• 1:14:41
  they decided that they were going to bring the stage show with
• 1:14:44
  them.
• 1:14:45
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 1:14:45
  SPEAKER_03: And they did,
• 1:14:46
  SPEAKER_03: obviously,
• 1:14:46
  SPEAKER_03: as you'll probably see in some of these clips,
• 1:14:48
  SPEAKER_03: but you know,
• 1:14:50
  SPEAKER_03: it was a very good show,
• 1:14:51
  SPEAKER_03: a fantastic show,
• 1:14:53
  SPEAKER_03: three singers,
• 1:14:53
  SPEAKER_03: three guitarists,
• 1:14:54
  SPEAKER_03: bassist and drums.
• 1:14:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you got the Punkage United lineup.
• 1:14:58
  SPEAKER_02: That's awesome.
• 1:14:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no kidding.
• 1:14:59
  But the thing is,
• 1:15:01
  is that all the trading off of the vocals was pretty
• 1:15:06
  impressive.
• 1:15:07
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 1:15:07
  SPEAKER_03: You know, Michael Kiske and Andy Daris.
• 1:15:13
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, they were trading off vocals back and forth, and
• 1:15:17
  SPEAKER_03: They were playing off of each other,
• 1:15:18
  SPEAKER_03: like,
• 1:15:19
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:15:19
  SPEAKER_03: since they sound very similar in their delivery and everything.
• 1:15:23
  SPEAKER_03: They were a lot of improv stage acting up there.
• 1:15:28
  SPEAKER_03: Like,
• 1:15:28
  SPEAKER_03: they'd be up there,
• 1:15:29
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:15:30
  SPEAKER_03: kind of trying to show that there's no rivalry here,
• 1:15:34
  SPEAKER_03: that we're all close,
• 1:15:35
  SPEAKER_03: we're all friends.
• 1:15:37
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, they're like...
• 1:15:38
  you know doing the whole play acting like they're putting their
• 1:15:41
  arms around each
• 1:15:41
  other and going like you sing no you sing you go you know you
• 1:15:47
  sing you know and uh
• 1:15:49
  the back and forth uh you know them trading off the vocals for
• 1:15:54
  most of the songs
• 1:15:56
  you know if you closed your eyes you wouldn't know which guy
• 1:15:59
  was which sure because
• 1:16:01
  SPEAKER_03: they both sing extremely similar yeah
• 1:16:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, the two, Kai and Kiske sound almost identical.
• 1:16:10
  SPEAKER_03: And then Andy Daris has a little bit lower range than the other two guys.
• 1:16:14
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, not much, but a little bit lower.
• 1:16:17
  But,
• 1:16:17
  yeah,
• 1:16:17
  I mean,
• 1:16:19
  like I told you before when you said you were going,
• 1:16:21
  I'm jealous as hell.
• 1:16:23
  The closest I've come to this show with the Pumpkins United was
• 1:16:26
  watching it on –
• 1:16:27
  SPEAKER_03: on the Valken, you know, live stream.
• 1:16:30
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 1:16:30
  SPEAKER_03: And it was like two and a half hours and it was awesome.
• 1:16:33
  SPEAKER_02: But,
• 1:16:33
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:16:34
  SPEAKER_03: I mean,
• 1:16:34
  it is awesome seeing those three guys just trading vocals and
• 1:16:39
  giving up parts that
• 1:16:40
  SPEAKER_03: are clearly theirs or,
• 1:16:41
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:16:42
  SPEAKER_03: weren't theirs.
• 1:16:42
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 1:16:43
  you know like andy daris has to be you know when this thing
• 1:16:47
  started andy daris had
• 1:16:48
  to be like what the hell because most of the songs that they're
• 1:16:51
  playing are not his
• 1:16:52
  right you know so he probably thought he wasn't going to have
• 1:16:55
  any parts in any of
• 1:16:56
  those songs and he still sings like a good amount and like
• 1:17:00
  keeper of the seven keys
• 1:17:02
  SPEAKER_03: and i want out and stuff like that so
• 1:17:05
  yeah well like i said they they traded off you know one verse
• 1:17:09
  at a time sure you
• 1:17:11
  know so they were back and forth and a couple times each guy
• 1:17:15
  came out and did a
• 1:17:16
  song by himself and then you know the other ones they were
• 1:17:20
  again they were all uh
• 1:17:22
  trading off the vocals right trading off vocals and andy and
• 1:17:27
  and um kiski they were
• 1:17:28
  SPEAKER_03: all just back and forth
• 1:17:30
  SPEAKER_03: It was a very entertaining show in that regard.
• 1:17:34
  SPEAKER_03: They had a big LED screen behind them.
• 1:17:38
  SPEAKER_03: It was a big screen.
• 1:17:40
  SPEAKER_03: It filled that stage.
• 1:17:43
  They had a lot of great video in the background and the big
• 1:17:47
  pumpkin riser.
• 1:17:49
  SPEAKER_03: The big pumpkin riser looked awesome.

• 1:23:41
  big production,

  and it sounded great.
• 1:23:44
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, I'm sure.

• 1:23:52
  SPEAKER_03: with Kiski on the one side and Andy Daris on the other,
• 1:23:54
  SPEAKER_03: and the two of them just kind of going at each other vocally,
• 1:23:58
  SPEAKER_03: like a vocal duel or something.
• 1:24:00
  SPEAKER_03: That's exactly right.
• 1:24:01
  SPEAKER_03: That's what I was going to say, a duel.

  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, very cool.
• 1:24:05
  SPEAKER_03: All right, I'll just fast-forward through.
• 1:24:06

  So,
• 1:32:23

• 1:32:24
  uh,
• 1:32:24
  we asked the bartender,
• 1:32:26
  you know,
• 1:32:26
  well,
• 1:32:26
  what,
• 1:32:26

• 1:32:38
  You know,

• 1:32:41
  like,
• 1:32:42
  orange in it,
• 1:32:42
  like orange stuff.
• 1:32:45
  SPEAKER_03: It's a bag of sugar with a shot of Jack Daniels.
• 1:32:48
  SPEAKER_03: For the most part, yeah.
• 1:32:50
  SPEAKER_03: It was just way too sweet.
• 1:32:52
  SPEAKER_03: But, you know, I finished that up.
• 1:32:54
  SPEAKER_03: And,
• 1:32:55
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:32:56
  SPEAKER_03: the thing is,
• 1:32:56
  SPEAKER_03: is when the people that go to this place,
• 1:32:58
  SPEAKER_03: they must,
• 1:32:59
  SPEAKER_03: you know,
• 1:32:59

• 1:33:16
  piano or something and
• 1:33:19
  SPEAKER_03: playing jazz and whatever.

  SPEAKER_03: I know.
• 1:38:59

  some radio love or Halloween never really had that.
• 1:39:25
  SPEAKER_02: And boy, does that make a difference?
• 1:39:28

  SPEAKER_02: In the, in the video time, their videos stink.
• 1:39:33
  Yeah.

• 1:39:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:39:39
  SPEAKER_03: Let's try it too.
• 1:39:40

  uh,
• 1:39:42
  they're still hanging in there and still forming very well.
